Range, Moose Brook State Park is in an area of unparalleled scenery
and offers a variety of outdoor activities. The park is ideally located
for fishing in the Peabody and Moose rivers. Moose Brook flows through
the park, and after passing through a shallow warming pool, feeds
the swimming area with cool, clear mountain water. Picnicking and
swimming are enjoyed against the scenic mountain backdrop. The many
trails in the park are great for exploring on foot or mountain bike.

History
The 87 park acres and the surrounding 668 acres of state forest were
purchased by the state in 1934. The swimming area, bathhouse, campground
and administration building were built at that time and the park opened
to the public in 1936. The original administration building, still
in use, is an excellent example of classic Civilian Conservation Corps
(CCC) design and construction. The CCC was created by President Roosevelt
in the early 1930s in an effort to help bring an end to the Great
Depression. The CCC, often referred to as Roosevelt's tree army, was
designed to utilize the country's many unemployed youths in natural
resource conservation efforts. The program is responsible for much
of the early state park development across America.

Mt.
Washington
Moose Brook is ideally situated as a base for a leisurely day-trip
or strenuous hike up 6,288-foot Mt. Washington, the highest peak in
the northeast. Mt. Washington experiences some of the worst weather
in the world and is the site of the highest land wind speed recorded
in the world at 231 mph.

The popular
summit state park can be reached several ways. The cog railway train
chugs daily, during the summer/fall season, to the summit from the
base station in Bretton Woods on the mountain's west flank. An eight-mile
long auto road to the summit that begins in Pinkham Notch. Visitors
may choose to drive their own cars or enjoy the stage service that
provides a round-trip van ride and tour guide. Hikers may wish to
stop at the Appalachian Mountain Club's (AMC) Pinkham Notch Camp or
purchase an AMC White Mountain Guide for trail information before
starting out.
